So this is a new approach.

My wife works for the courthouse during elections, preparing absentee ballots, managing the absentee ballot folks (they sometimes move or have other issues that require an address change so they are voting the correct district, etc. and then helping register new people right up through the elections where she helps with the election.

Anyway... LOTS of absentee ballot folks, who are legally registered and perfectly good for the upcoming elections are getting notifications sent to them to "re register" for their absentee ballots. These only appear to be going to folks who have voted at least partially red in the previous few elections. When people get these notifications, there is a great deal of confusion on their parts and they feel they have to come in and check on their status as the notification tells them any ballots sent to them will be invalid if they don't go through the registration process again.

In short, it appears whoever is sending these out is either trying to ensure folks are registered, or create a situation where already registered folks A) don't think the absentee ballots they receive are valid and B) have to go through a bunch of horse-**** to get RE-registered.

So I wondered which it was, is it a benevolent attempt to get more people registered, or a sneaky effort to convince some voters it's too much trouble to go through the process again.

I looked up the company sending the notifications - It's a super PAC. I looked up the super PAC's disbursements in 2016. $3 million was spent on supporting democrat candidates. An additional $3 million was spent discrediting republican candidates.

Your kinder - gentler democratic party, hard at work.

What you mean the DNC is engaged in shenanigans��. Tell your wife to look for dead people voting absentee.

And how much of the Super Pac's money comes from old Uncle George Soros?

Jesus, and (D)umbshits squeal and whine and sob about "voter suppression."

absentee ballots lean heavily republican. It's well established. A big reason is that's how many military people vote.

Except the ones that the dead folks mail in. Lots of shenanigans goes on at the precinct and county level because even in Republican areas the local officials are almost all Democrats.

Come-on folks. The Democrats have embraced Progressive-ism--Democratic Socialism--Globalism and have clearly shown all of the rest of us that they are the future.

If you doubt their metal, just look at the urban areas they have controlled for centuries. As a matter of fact just look at the home base for the head cheese of the Democratic House of Representatives.

Oh ye of little faith.
